This dataset contains approximately one hour of anonymized traffic traces from a DDoS attack
on August 4, 2007 (20:50:08 UTC to 21:56:16 UTC). This type of denial-of-service attack
attempts to block access to the targeted server by consuming computing resources on the
server and by consuming all of the bandwidth of the network connecting the server to the Internet.

The one-hour trace is split up in 5-minute pcap files. The total size of the dataset is 5.3 GB (compressed; 21 GB uncompressed). Only attack
traffic to the victim and responses to the attack from the victim are included in the traces.
Non-attack traffic has as much as possible been removed. Traces in this dataset are anonymized using
CryptoPAn prefix-preserving anonymization using a single key. The payload has been removed from all packets.
